Bikeground

In Episode 7 of Bikeground, I sit down with Maris Strombergs, the Latvian legend and two-time Olympic gold medalist who changed the history of BMX Racing. We dive into his life after retirement, his two Olympic victories, and the mindset behind becoming “The Machine.” Maris shares untold stories from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, his iconic World Championship wins, and the reality of chasing success as a European rider in a U.S.-dominated sport.
